## **- Burniston & Cloughton Pre school Chairs report 2022** This year has seen playschool return to a more normal routine, as we all emerge out of the Covid 19 pandemic. This has afforded the children a much welcomed return to consistency in their playschool provision, play and learning. They have certainly benefitted from spending regular time amongst their peers, in a safe and nurturing environment that playschool provides. It has been a pleasure to observe the children coming and going from playschool, with happy faces and playing freely, without the need for covid regulations and social distancing. I speak from a personal perspective as a parent to a child in setting, what a joy it is to see him interact through play with children his own age and to receive regular updates from the staff via tapestry and parents evenings, on his progress. I speak on behalf of all parents and carers who have children at playschool, when I say thank you to all the staff for providing the children with such a fun, safe and child friendly learning and play environment. We have 40 children on role, this is a full quota at present – and there is a waiting list in operation We have No SEND or LAC children at present. Playschool received an Ofsted visit / inspection in June and I am very pleased to report that we received a rating of Good. My thanks are extended to all of the staff and committee for their dedication to playschool and this shines through in the Ofsted report. Headlines from the report read as; - Overall effectiveness Good - The quality of education Good - Behaviour and attitudes Good - Personal development Good - Leadership and management Good ## Headlines; Children enjoy coming to the pre-school and have good relationships with staff. They arrive happily for their session and wave goodbye to their families. Staff prepare activities which are based on children's interests and learning needs. They provide clear boundaries for their behaviour and children benefit from consistent routines. Staff help children to be prepared for the next stages in their learning, such as the move on to school. Parents are very happy and leave complimentary feedback about the pre-school staff. Some have had family members in attendance for four generations and say that the pre-school is very much part of the community. Staff provide an interesting and challenging curriculum for children. Staff provide children with enjoyable experiences, which help them to make good progress. Overall, children make good progress in their communication and language development. Children develop very good levels of self-confidence and independence. Children show that they feel safe and secure with every member of the staff team. The manager has high standards and expectations for children. She works closely alongside staff as part of the team. Staff benefit from her support and experience. They show pride in their work with children and regularly reflect on their practice. For example, the manager completes regular observations and evaluates the quality of teaching. Staff receive feedback, which helps them to develop their skills. The arrangements for safeguarding are effective. The manager and chair of the committee have an extensive knowledge of child protection and safeguarding issues. They provide support and training to staff, and ensure that they understand their responsibilities to keep children safe. ## **What does the setting need to do to improve?** To further improve the quality of the early years provision, the provider should: support children to develop their communication further, specifically young children and those who have a potential delay in their language skills and help all children to deeply engage in activities and enhance opportunities for them to learn outdoors. We have already seen a proactive approach to this through the introduction of a large outdoor sandpit / play area, which allows the children to interact with each other through play / outdoor exploration and opportunities around things such as planting and growing seeds in our newly built large planters. This will feed nicely into topics around the seasons and how we grow / produce different plants / crops etc each year. Playschool received an Environmental health inspection in July – which resulted in the top rating of (5) We are delighted to have welcomed a new Staff - new team member Korin Hutton who commenced in Feb'22 – she has settled in well to the playschool staff family. It is a pleasure to have you with us Korin. Liz in her management role, ensures that the staff are up to date with all mandatory qualifications and provides each staff member with opportunities to develop, through courses related to their interests and skill set. Kath, remains our deputy and as always, does an excellent job of covering for Liz when required and dedicating her time to all aspects of additional roles that she undertakes within playschool. Parental involvement throughout the year has been good and a highlight was the Christmas play at the farm in the barn – we are very grateful to all parents who give their time and support to our annual events. We have had exciting things happen throughout the year, including a Mum of a child in setting, who is an engineer came into playschool with a slide show of bridges (3 Billy Goats Gruff).. Our annual Easter egg roll - lots of family members joined us for this event and the Queen's Jubilee celebration - celebrated on our Sports day followed by refreshments and plant pot gifts in the hall next door. We held a Summer fair – which was a big fundraiser for our new sand pit area kindly build over the summer by Mr Mills (thank you). Financially, playschool remains stable (in what are unstable times nationally on an economically). We are proud of the achievements throughout the year, there has been lots to celebrate for the children and as always Liz works tirelessly to ensure every child, has the opportunity to come through the doors at playschool feeling safe, supported and special. Our links to the local primary school remain strong and we will have a number of children leaving us in the summer of 2023, to progress to primary education. Liz and the team will ensure a smooth transition is in place for every child. Finally it just leaves me to say thank you to the staff, Liz, Kath, Josie & Korin for their ongoing hard work and commitment and also to the committee members, Sarah Hoff (secretary) , Jo Vickerman (H&S) , Jo Taylor (officer) Claire Turnball (treasurer) and a warm welcome to our recent new recruits, Kate Townsend and Rebecca Hazard. As always my final thanks goes out to our lovely children we have with us at playschool, whom this is all about. We hope you enjoy playschool, as much as we enjoy having you with us.
